Confronting the Reality of Sexual Violence on the College Campus

featuring David Lisak

A quarter century of research has documented widespread sexual victimization on college campuses. Confronting this reality requires confronting the reality of who perpetrates this violence. This presentation will summarize twenty years of research—almost all based on college populations—on so-called “undetected” rapists, men who commit rapes but who are either not reported or not prosecuted for their crimes.
